No hype. Just clear outcomes and systems that scale.|
Jonathan Arends is a Senior UX & Product Designer based in The Hague, Netherlands, specializing in complex SaaS, government platforms, and accessibility-first design systems. Good design should look great, but more importantly, it should be usable, understandable, and maintainable.
Sometimes that means redesigning a user journey. Sometimes it means reshaping how a team thinks about product design.
I help teams turn complexity into clarity through user-centered design that respects both people and code.
